A video of a cat trying to scratch its ear with its missing leg.

The footage, captured on December 12 in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, shows 10-year-old Suzie - who had her back leg amputated due to cancer - failing to reach an itchy spot in her ear as she lies on a couch.

Later on, Suzie's owner can be seen petting her to soothe the itchy ear.

The filmer writes: ''She had cancer in her back paw so had to get it amputated to stop it spreading.''

''She thinks she can still use it to scratch her ear though.''

''Don't worry, her ear is scratched on demand!''

My cat had to have her leg amputated and thinks she can still use it to scratch her ear. Don't worry, her ear is scratched on demand!

we got her from a cats protection centre so when she was young, she's about ten now and she had cancer in her back paw so had to get it amputated to stop it spreading.
